10 coyote day!

If you can shoot 10 coyotes in a day? Impressive, you have my admiration.
They are pretty thick out there.
My gal's boss is a guide around the SE of AB. He said he saw a crazy amount out scouting in the fall.
I missed a few running shots off my deck the other day.
New to me gun, didn't have a good feel for it yet.
My excuse anyhow.
But they were in a chase situation, one of them was 'putting the run' on the other. Which meant that one of them considers my yard 'his property'.
Gone working rigs too much I'd say
 
Jelly.

We went last weekend, didn't call any in. On the way back two jumped out of the valley but, me standing and them running at 150 yards made for some missed shots.

Do you have any advice on calling sequences you like?

I'll admit, I'm a #### shot if I'm not crouched or prone.

I do %90 of my coyote shooting off a sitting length bipod.
As for sequences I don't get too overly caught up in the EXACT sound that I'm playing like some people do. Most stands start with a higher pitch sound wether it be bird distress or cottontail then a deeper louder sound like jackrabbit distress then on to a pup distress or fight sound. And that goes for handcalls or E call.
This time of year I will sometimes start with a howl on the handcall and then go from there depending on the response. If coyotes are responding to howls I will howl back with a pair howl on the foxpro or switch to a different howl on the handcall then on to pup distress and fights. If there is no response to the howling I will go through the sequence like usual.

Okay, so I'm not to far off. I have called them in a few times and been successful. They seem very transient
Around here sometimes. Ill hear them non stop at night, alot of them for a couple of nights or close to a week. Then it'll be quiet for a while again.

I usually am prone with a good rifle rest when I am calling. Just happened to scare them out on the way back that day.
 
Good job on thinning the population. I plan on shooting a few on Monday but don’t know if I have time to get ten down.
You stated there was a fur buyer there buying the good ones. Any Idea what he was paying for them??
 
Outstanding! I get all warm and tingly thinking back to a couple of 5-dog days I've been lucky enough to have; can't imagine doubling that number!

I was participating in a Christmas bird count in December and we stopped to check out a bunch of ravens and eagles on something in the ditch. I was expecting a road-killed deer, but it turned out to be 6 yotes that somebody had just dumped into the ditch; no skinning, just trying to keep the numbers down. They are thick on the ground this winter.
